Support for FF Walt Wilson and family as daughter fights a rare and aggressive cancer
Support for FF Walt Wilson and family
A 501(c)(3) Tax-Deductible Campaign
Illinois’ FF Walt Wilson is a member of the Rockton Fire Protection District and is the father of a three-year-old daughter who was recently diagnosed with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). JMML is a rare and serious form of leukemia that presents significant challenges for affected children and their families. Walt and his family are currently awaiting additional genetic testing to help guide her treatment plan. Once those results are available, the family plans to temporarily relocate to Memphis so she can receive specialized care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This transition will allow her to access the medical expertise and resources needed during this difficult time.
Her treatment is expected to include an intensive course of chemotherapy, followed by a bone marrow transplant. The family is preparing for a demanding extended period of treatment and recovery away from work and home. Let’s provide them the financial relief to allow them the best care for their daughter while they fight this disease together.
